Attorney

Former Army EM
Disputes Attitude
Which Downs UMT
The affirmative side of the uni
versal military training question
will be discussed by Rex Kimmell,
deputy attorney general for the
state of Oregon, on February 24 at
7:30 p.m. in Room 3, Fenton hall.
The talk is sponsored by the edu
cational activities board.
Kimmell requested the opportun
ity to discuss the subject after
Brigadier General Herbert C. Hol
dridge talked on the negative side
of the question last month.
"We cannot let the matter pass
unchallenged,” said Kimmell whose
topic is entitled “Training for
American Security and Citizen
ship.” An enlisted man in World
War I, he claimed that it will “be
a privilege to dispute a general.”
Kimmell was born in Indiana and
received his law degree from the
University of Idaho. He was assist
ant United States district attorney
for Oregon for three years, 1930 to
1933. In 1947 he assumed his pres
ent post of deputy attorney general
for Oregon. Kimmell has been a
member of the American legion for
28 years.

Schools to Get Objective Sex Film
A colored movie on human re
production and growth, believed to
be the first of its kind in the world,
will be made available to the
schools of Oregon and other quali
fied agencies next week.
Technical director of the motion
picture, “Human Growth,’’ is Les
ter F. Beck, associate professor of
psychology. The E. C. Brown trust
fund administered by Dr. Adolph
Weinzirl of the University medical
school, financed the project. It was
filmed by the Eddie Albert produc
tions of Hollywood.
The movie began as 80 slides on
sex education study, prepared in
August, 1946, and was showed to
some 1600 persons in PTA groups
for comment and criticism. A re
working of the film from the slides
was the result.
PTA Approves
The film has received the written
endorsement of the Oregon Con
gress of Parents and Teachers, and
has the guarded permission of the
state department of education. The
movie received “a warm welcome”
by teacher-training institutions and
particularly by the physical educa
tion department of the University,
according to University officials.
The movie is designed for care
ful coordination with health classes
in junior high schools, and will be
shown uhder the supervision of
competent teachers.
In giving a “go-ahead” to th
use of the film, Rex Putnam, state
superintendent of public instruc
tion said, “It may be shown in
those districts where the proper ar
rangements have been made to
show the picture to the pupils and
where it has been passed by the
parents beforehand. Sex instruction
in this state is in the stage of ex
perimentation, and we are having
to educate in advance of a trend.”
The film, running about 20 min
mutes, emphasizes general process
es of growth and reproduction
rather than anatomical detail. The
stylized drawings, screened in
carefully chosen colors, do not have
the detail of medical drawings and
show both the male and female re
productive organs.
The finished film has now been
shown to some 3000 persons, most
ly parents and teachers. Statistics
on their reactions, compiled by
Mareille H. Harris, graduate stu
dent in psychology at the Univer
sity, are completed for the first
1131 respondents.
Only 16 of those persons say they
would not want a child of theirs to
see the film. The largest negative
response, in a small very conserva
tive community, was only five per
cent. The percentage of all groups
combined is only one and four
tenths per cent. The film has been
shown only on a voluntary request
from each school and has not been
shown at any parochial schools.
Post-Game Hop
Slated in Annex
A free after-game (lance
sponsored by Educational Activ
ities board will be held in Ger
linger annex Friday night. Herb
Widmer and his four-piece combo
will play for the dance scheduled
to begin immediately after the
Oregon-OSC gang. Dancing will
continue until midnight.
Kwamas and Skull and Dagger
will provide intermission enter
tainment.
Widmer’s combo features
group singing and fancy patter
’ numbers. “Get Up Them Stairs,
Mademoiselle” was introduced on
the campus by the YVidmcr group
which has been playing at Ore
gon for three years.
The next dance, scheduled for
February 27, will feature Joe In
gram's music.
Future May See
Fewer Oregana
Books Printed
Unless the student body pur
chases a sufficient number of 1948
Oreganas in the immediate future
it may be necessary to reduce the
number of books printed from 4200
to 4000, declared Olga Yevtich,
business manager, after a confer
ence yesterday afternoon.
Miss Yevtich pointed out, how
ever, that if enough students indi
cate their desire to purchase a copy
of the yearbook by Thursday, Feb
ruary 19, the proposed cut may not
be necessary.
May Be Fewer
If the number of Oreganas to be
printed is reduced by 200, students
now registered but who have not
ordered the book will not be as
sured of a copy when it is released
next spring.
If the cut is made the books not
already reserved will be held for
spring term enrollees.
Students may evidence their in
tention of buying by placing a $2
deposit and a promise to pay the
?4 balance by April 15 with the
educational activities office.
Partial Payment
The temporary partial payment
plan was instituteed, said Miss
Yevtich, for the benefit of those
students who are not able to pay
the full $6 at this time but who
want a copy of the book.
On November 18, 1947, the edu
cational activities board authorized
the printing of 4200 copies of the
yearbook. Since that time, however,
sales have failed to reach the need
ed quota thus necessitating the
proposed cut.
But Still Good
Ross Yates, editor of the 1948
Orcgana, emphatically declared
that any such cut would in no way
affect the quality of the yearbook.
The educational activities office
in McArthur court is open from 8
to 12 noon and 1 to 5 p.m. daily.
